Therefore, I appeal to all citizens NOT to use Christmas as a sales tool and use Christmas to share among others. That will bring about the true meaning of Christmas," said the Archbishop of Colombo.Today, every single person is working towards providing a better future for their children.Unfortunately, the today of the children of tomorrow is not a bed of roses.Some children are suffering from malnutrition, while many others are facing a challenge in accessing education, which is their right.Today, the price of every single item is skyrocketing, and parents are working tirelessly to make ends meet, provide for their families, and send their kids to school.Therefore, this Christmas the MTV / MBC Network decided to launch the Sirasa Shakthi Book Donation Drive aimed to foster a better future for the children of Sri Lanka.The official launch took place at the City Office premises of the Capital Maharaja Group in Colombo on Tuesday (6) afternoon, amidst the blessings of the religious leaders.Venerable Bakmitiyawe Dhammananda Thero, from the Hunupitiya Gangarama Temple highlighted the fact that books and other stationery items are extremely expensive compared to the previous years.Rt.
